GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE 34TH ENLISTED RETENTION TASK FORCE (ERTF)
CONFERENCE WAS HELD ON 07 DEC 05. THIS MARADMIN REVIEWS TOPICS
DISCUSSED AND ANNOUNCES THE DATE FOR THE NEXT CONFERENCE.
2. TOPICS DISCUSSED:
A. FY05/FY06 RETENTION UPDATE: AS OF 07 DEC 05, 62.8% OF THE FY06
FIRST TERM ALIGNMENT PLAN (FTAP) WAS EXECUTED OUT OF AN AGGREGATE
REENLISTMENT GOAL OF 5,887. MOS MATCH WAS AT 99.5%. AS OF 07 DEC 05,
27.9% OF THE SUBSEQUENT TERM ALIGNMENT PLAN (STAP) HAD BEEN EXECUTED
OUT OF THE FY06 GOAL OF 6,250. MOS MATCH WAS 99.5%.
B. MMEA-6 BEGAN APPROVING LATERAL MOVES ON 1 DEC 05.
C. MMEA-6 ALSO BEGAN ACCEPTING PRIOR SERVICE ENLISTMENT PROGRAM
(PSEP) RELMS ON 1 DEC 05. IN FY04, 303 PSEP MARINES REAUGMENTED TO THE
ACTIVE COMPONENT MARINE CORPS. IN FY05, THE NUMBER OF PSEP MARINES
REAUGMENTING INCREASED TO 636. MMEA-6 ANTICIPATES AS MANY PSEP RELMS IN
FY06 AS IN FY05. MARINES TRANSITIONING TO THE CIVILIAN COMMUNITY AFTER
HONORABLE AND FAITHFUL SERVICE NEED TO BE BRIEFED BY CRS' ON THE
OPPORTUNITIES TO REAUGMENT AT A LATER DATE SHOULD THEY DESIRE.
FURTHERMORE, CRS' SHOULD REMIND MARINES CONSIDERING DEPARTURE FROM THE
MARINE CORPS THAT CAREER DECISIONS SHOULD NOT BE BASED OFF OF CURRENT
OPERATIONAL TEMPO FACTORS; THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR MARINES
RETURNING FROM COMBAT DUTY TO GET A BREAK FROM THE DEPLOYMENT CYCLE AND
ENLISTED MONITORS ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM.
D. PER MARADMIN 404/05 (FY05 SRB PROGRAM), THE SRB MULTIPLES WERE
SCHEDULED TO END ON 31 DEC 05. HOWEVER, MARADMIN 588/05 RECENTLY
EXTENDED FY06 SRBP UNTIL 31 MAR 06. AS OF 30 NOV 05, $47.4 MILLION IN
SRB PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN OBLIGATED FROM AN OVERALL SRB BUDGET OF $73.6
MILLION. THIS COMPARES TO $24 MILLION IN SRB PAYMENTS IN NOV 04 AT THIS
SAME POINT IN THE FY.
E. MARADMIN 476/05 (FTAP MISSION) AND 477/05 (STAP MISSION) WERE
RELEASED ON 14 OCT 05; MPP-20 INTENDS TO SCHEDULE A "MCC" REVIEW IN
ORDER TO REALIGN THE MCC'S UNDER THEIR PROPER REPORTING STRUCTURE SINCE
REGIONALIZATION HAS TAKEN ITS EFFECT (E.G., MCI EAST AND WEST).
F. MPP-20 RELEASED MARADMIN 599/05, FY06 BROKEN SERVICE SELECTIVE
REENLISTMENT BONUS (BSSRB), ON 15 DEC 05. MARINES WHO DO NOT DESIRE TO
